The food was average. They did have some bread that was delicious and the service was decent.

Their white Hainan chicken is the specialty, and the Hainan rice (we think it's made of garlic and chicken oils) is sooooo delicious!! You can also pair the chicken with rice or egg noodles instead of rice. Note that this place is cash only so make sure you have enough on hand. For dessert, we had the sesame peanut and coconut peanut mochi which always runs out, so you can get a pack of 4 before you finish your meal to make sure you have some by the time you finish eating. Finally, we took out an iced coconut red bean drink that's reminiscent of the Filipino halo halo shaved ice dessert.

Flavorful broth and high quality chicken meat. I can taste the difference in texture and tenderness of the chicken as they advertise it as free range. The interior has been upgraded since the last time I've been here. It looks modern and newly redone.

Come here for the chicken. It tastes different, you can really savor the quality. The beef is okay, nothing amazing, but with Pho Ga in the name, why would you not order chicken? Don’t skip this place, come get a nice bowl of chicken noodle soup

Bo Bun was nice, flavorful, waitress was nice and explained me the menu. I asked no onions and it came with onion. Most people tip pretty low there so they don’t really have high tip expectations. Would probably go back as it really have given me nice Vietnamese vibes.

A friend of mine recommended me the place so went here to try some food here, the food is very decent, the price is very affordable, it was okay, we ordered some noodle and some rice with pork, but the pork is kinda soggy but worth the price. I didn’t enjoy the food, and the problem is when I’m about to go pay, they only accept cash, they don’t accept card. So end up paying cash.
